ABC’s “Good Morning America” reported Thursday on the latest Christmas trend sweeping the nation that might have some people scratching their heads.

That new trend is swapping out the traditional green Christmas tree for a black one. That’s right, a Christmas tree with black needles.

If you’re asking why this trend is sweeping the nation, the answer is simple: it’s because of photosharing social media platform, Instagram.

According to GMA, there are more than 9,000 posts on Instagram with the hashtag ‘black Christmas tree.’

“It goes with everything. It goes with any kind of decor. And because a real-life decor has really started to become what’s going to look good on social media, green doesn’t always cut it,” Amanda Lauren, a design influencer, told GMA.

GMA host Michael Strahan joked, “You know what they say: once you get a black tree, you never go back.”
